Ever stop yourself from doing something because its weird? Strange? Often the judgement of weird and strange come up for me. Although I realize that I am the one judging myself at the same time I am aware that people also have this judgement of me, they use those words! Some of us that are…

“I don’t meditate because I can’t stop thinking!” This is such a hilarious excuse that it tells me the person hasn’t really done their research.

I was discouraged with words, usually seeded into my head from my mother. At 7-8 years old we believe what our parents and older siblings say, since they know more than we do. As a result of her own lifetime of abuse, my mother was a very negative person and repeated to me over and over why it would be next to impossible to be an astronaut, a doctor and to travel to the jungle. Everyone around me repeated what she said and sometimes added more reasons I would find it impossible. By the time I was 13 I kept my dreams to myself, not consciously, but I recently recognize that I stopped sharing my dreams with anyone. They became secret desires that I kept very close to my vulnerable heart.

I took those techniques and I began to use them in my yoga practice. I was and am still determined to continue to rewire my brain from unhealthy to healthy. The techniques helped me get centered into myself through breathe work and an awareness to our bodies, mind and spirit. Then I apply the same techniques in my practice with a simple gentleness. Since I can be extra hard on myself I must practice being gentle with myself. I must find a way to practice gently in order to heal myself, especially during my monthly feminine cycle.
